luck with Pyle, failing to hit him much,
except in one inning, and then smuggling
him enough to win the game. The first
game began at , o'clock promptly.
Murphy and Wilmot were each pre-
scented with a base. Then occurred
trick which Umpire Tindill should not
have allowed. Cleveland popped up
fly to third. Meinke saw his oppor-
tunity, allowed the ball to fall to the
ground and then doubled up Murphy
and Wilmot. Cleveland, of course
should have been called out and the
other men allowed to remain on their
bases. Burch went out from short to
first. Miller opened up for La Crosse
by going out from second to first. Rocks
then hit to left for two bases, took third
on Niau'S bad throw to second and
scored on Meinke's hit to center. A
wild pitch, base on balls to COrbett.
hit by Moriarity and an error each by
Wilmot and Stoekwell let in Meinke,
Corbett and Moriarity. Jevne reached
first on Stockwell's failure to hold a
thrown ball and took second on
a passed ball and Dwyer was given
a base on balls. Things looked
pretty blue. There were four runs
in, two men on bases and only one out.
Viau came to the front, however, and
struck out the next two men. In the
third inning Moriarity reached first on
drive to right, stole second, went to
third on passed ball, and scored on
Dryers hit to right. In the seventh
MOriarity got base on balls, went to
second on McCauley's error and scored
on Pyle's hit to left. In this inning
SIX MEN WENT TO BAT
and one of them hit for two bases, and
yet only one scored. st. Paul crossed
the plate for the first time in the third
inning. McCauley made a fine drive to
left for two bases and tailed on
Murphy's single. Murphy stole second
and scored on Wilmot's single. The
latter foolishly tried to reach second and
was cut off from center field. Cleve
lands two-base hit, which fol
run-getting, as Burch went out
on a fly to right. In the fifth
ludicrOuS incident occurred. McCauley
hit to right field for couple of sacks
and the ball was duly returned to Pyle.
Crooks was standing near first base,
and when Umpire Lindill and Catcher
HalStrom were adjusting their masks,
motioned to Pyle to give him catch.
Pyle was in an accommodating mood
and threw the ball. Crooks stepped

McCauley ran home. In the eighth
inning st. Paul got down to work and
pulled out the game. When the inning
opened Lacrosse had lead of three,
but when it ended st. Paul had
lead of three. The case was
desperate one. Viau led off with a
pretty hit to left, but was unable
to run and McCauley took his place.
The big first baseman provoked a
great deal of mirth by promptly stealing
second. Murphy took base on balls,
and each swung around on Wilmot's
out. Cleveland's line drive to left
brought them both in. Burch then hit
the ball far out to right and Moriarity
muffed it. Pickett's hit for two bags
emptied the bases again, putting st.
Paul in the lead and exciting the crowd
to a noticeable degree of enthusiasm.
Crooks hit to right brought Pickett
home, and wild throw to the plate by
Dwyer enabled Crooks to score. In the
ninth Wilmot hit to right, stole second
and third and scored on Cleveland's hit
to center. The score follows:
